(1) I switched transcoding in MinimStreamer from flac:wav to flac:wav24.
(2) I reboot the MiND (stream receiver) each day before listening.
(3) When I'm done for the day, I exit the control point app, instead of just hitting "stop." This stops the MiND, also.

When I have time, I'll see if I can pin down what matters most. For now, it's easiest just to follow the rituals.

I would be interested to hear what happens if you revert (1) to its previous setting while leaving (2) and (3) unchanged.

I tried it briefly this afternoon. No obvious change (i.e., no dropouts). I am beginning to believe that the clicks may not be network dropouts at all, but rather the MiND suffering, e.g., a memory leak or other software (firmware) snafu. That would explain why (2) seems to help.
